More than 5,000 government school teachers in Madhya Pradesh remain attached to government offices despite directives to return them to classrooms, the Free Press Journal reported. The School Education Department first ordered 213 attached teachers back to their schools and later asked district education officers to identify and recall others, but the report said the recall met resistance in some districts and limited interest from senior officials. In Bhopal, an order relieved 47 teachers on 7 July, of whom only 11 joined their schools, and a separate order by the Collector's office on 16 July relieved 30 employees, after the district education officer's 8 July directive had cancelled their attachments. The report named several individual teachers long attached to secretariat and legislators' offices as examples of the pattern.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The scale reported, and the low compliance seen in Bhopal's 47-teacher order, points to a real staffing problem, but the report does not establish who approved the longer-standing attachments or why some districts resisted recalling them, so claims of deliberate favouritism go beyond what is shown here. The named individual cases illustrate the pattern without proving its cause. Whether the wider recall drive beyond Bhopal succeeds is the follow-up this report leaves open.
